[03:16] <nigelbabu> maco ty for the advertisement :)
[03:18] <maco> nigelbabu: in #ubuntu ?
[03:19] <nigelbabu> no up ^
[03:19] <maco> cloudmonkee?
[03:19] <nigelbabu> yep
[03:19] <maco> they're someone who was asking in #ubuntu why lucid sucks and i said because not enough people test early alphas and not enough people fix the bugs they find
[03:20] <nigelbabu> haha
[03:20] <maco> so they asked how they could help fix that
[03:20] <maco> they know java and c++ and i told them about patch review, triaging, and alpha testing
[03:20] <maco> oh and bitesize bugs
[03:21] <nigelbabu> so they came here :)
[03:21] <maco> yeah. i was helping them in pm with how to get set up on launchpad and how to use it
[03:21] <maco> because reading the review guide they didnt know how to tag bugs or subscribe to them or anything
[03:22] <nigelbabu> then should have asked to do bug squad stuff for 2 weeks and then come to review
[03:23] <maco> they can read code...seemed this was a good place
[03:24] <maco> but i did explain a bit about the sort of debugging thats involved in triaging
[03:24] <nigelbabu> yeah, but fokls get lost about upstreaming sometimes, so we send them to do bug triage
[03:24] <nigelbabu> thats why bug control folks can get in quite easily
[03:25] <maco> well hopefully theyll be back and we can do a bit of mentoring
[03:25] <nigelbabu> yeah :)
[03:25] <nigelbabu> But thanks again :)
[03:25] <ddecator> i still need to learn this process..
[03:25] <nigelbabu> did you see the pretty graphs for patch day?
[03:26] <nigelbabu> ddecator: did you go through the review guide?
[03:26] <maco> nigelbabu: no i did not
[03:27] <nigelbabu> maco: it should be in my mail to -devel, hold on, let me hunt down the link
[03:27] <ddecator> nigelbabu: not in detail, haha. i've been meaning to do it this weekend. i need to work on a software center wiki page tonight so idk if i'll get to it tonight or not, but if not tonight i'll try for tomorrow. i skimmed it and it seems pretty straight-forward, but i'm sure i'll run into questions when i actually review my first patch
[03:28] <nigelbabu> ddecator: just ask here, someone will reply, at least in scrollback
[03:28] <nigelbabu> maco: http://people.ubuntu.com/~nigelbabu/patch-day-2.jpg
[03:28] <ddecator> nigelbabu: i plan on it =)
[03:29] <nigelbabu> maco: we sorta got lazy towards the last few hours
[03:29] <maco> nigelbabu: thats a pretty good decrease!
[03:29] <nigelbabu> maco: oh yes!
[03:30] <nigelbabu> we're now at one page consistently
[03:30] <maco> yay :)
[03:32] <nigelbabu> maco: can make head or tail of this bug? bug 525395
[03:32] <ubot3> Malone bug 525395 in backuppc "Missing dependency to libtime-modules-perl" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/525395
[03:33] <maco> nigelbabu: not til after midnight
[03:33] <maco> i have a paper due at midnight
[03:33] <nigelbabu> at midnight?
[03:33] <maco> thats 87 minutes
[03:33] <maco> yes, by email
[03:33] <nigelbabu> lol, ok :)
[03:33] <nigelbabu> maco: get off IRC!
[03:34] <maco> nigelbabu: you pinged me!
[03:34]  * nigelbabu bribes nhandler to k-line maco
[03:34] <maco> only 2 pages left :)
[03:34] <nigelbabu> thats not much :)
[03:41] <nhandler> nigelbabu: No chance ;)
[03:43] <nigelbabu> nhandler: hahaha
[07:00] <nigelbabu> nhandler: can you put https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2010-May/030748.html on the fridge?
[07:41] <ddecator> oh, i remember what my noob question is. i'm assuming there is a way to apply the patches we review to the package instead of having to get the source and rebuild the package with the patch. how is that done?
[07:42] <nigelbabu> ddecator: wrong assumption
[07:42] <ddecator> dang
[07:43] <ddecator> i was hopeful =p
[07:43] <nigelbabu> ddecator: if you can read the code and make out if it works, you don't have to rebuild
[07:43] <ddecator> didn't know how that would work though..
[07:43] <nigelbabu> or you can ask to forward upstream if sure the patch is working
[07:44] <ddecator> ah, ok. that'll be good practice to get me familiar with code then, haha. i don't have time to work on reviewing anything tonight, but at least now i know what to do for when i do finally get around to reviewing a patch..
[07:44] <ddecator> thanks nigelbabu
[07:44] <nigelbabu> ddecator: no problem :)
[10:55] <nigelbabu> vish: got there ?
[10:55] <vish> nigelbabu: wooh! UDS baby :D

[11:02] <vish> nigelbabu: just got here havent met all yet ;)
[11:02] <nigelbabu> vish: cool!
[16:22] <nigelbabu> nhandler: did you see my ping earlier re: fridge?
[16:29] <nhandler> nigelbabu: Yeah, but it will need to wait until later. The family is coming over in under an hour for Mother's Day. You can poke someone in -news to look into it
[16:31] <nigelbabu> nhandler: okay :)
[16:58] <nigelbabu> qense: whom are you rooming with/
[16:58] <qense> nigelbabu: Sarge
[16:59] <qense> Don't know him, but seems a nice guy.
